Residual Neuromuscular Block in the Post-Anesthetic Unit and Postoperative Complications
Sponsor: Dr. Negrin University Hospital
Summary
The use of neuromuscular blockers (NMB) is essential to optimize surgical conditions, ensure patient immobility during the intervention and prevent complications derived from involuntary movements. Intraoperative monitoring of neuromuscular relaxation allows the depth of neuromuscular blockade to be accurately evaluated, guaranteeing ideal conditions for the surgical team. Residual neuromuscular blockade (RNMB) is the persistence of muscle paralysis after the administration of NMB during a surgical intervention. The appearance of RNMB poses substantial challenges in the postoperative period, as it has negative repercussions for the safety and well-being of the patient.
